The partnership includes a team of teachers from MfA, researchers from MSU and the University of Buffalo, and educational professionals from across New York State. Each case study will include a video segment of secondary instruction in real classrooms taught by MfA master teachers and supporting materials (lesson plans, classroom handouts, discussion prompts), representing a set of tools for teachers to use in professional learning communities focused on secondary mathematics teaching and learning. The team includes full-time doctoral students Matthew Wright and Victoria Bonaccorso. They are being advised by Dr. Eileen Murray.Thu, 18 Aug 2016 13:25:12 -0400http://www.montclair.edu/news/article.php?ArticleID=16801&ChannelID=220Visiting Assistant Professor, Mathematical Scienceshttp://www.montclair.edu/news/article.php?ArticleID=16755&ChannelID=220
